Wow. All this great material and all College Humor could come up with is lisping and clubbing?
Prince Adam’s clothes are a punchline? Have they not heard of Fisto?
Batman and Robin jokes practically write themselves. Check out Superdickery.com.
Superman is in on it too. [Stop fantasizing that this is Tom Welling and John Schneider.]
Come on, College Humor. If you’re going to make fun of gay stereotypes, either be witty or at least pick something from this millenium.
“Be My Lover” Really? Couldn’t get the rights to Haddaway, could you?

Hey, readers!
I collect hundreds, prides, scores and other unlikely collective nouns of links throughout the week. Often there’s nothing to say about them, but I offer you some from this week, No-Face style:

YesButNoButYes (best. blog. name. ever.) posted this video of the B&J Supersquad.
Whether or not I want to feel his quads depends on which Batman actor is under there. And is that just a bromance or did I notice a little flirting on the Dark Knight’s part?
In this week’s puppy-bat-doctor special:
- Meet our new spokes-puppy, Kodos
- Marc’s celebrity sightings: Morris and Beth Grant!
- Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
- Doctor Who (”Silence in the Library”, “Midnight”, “Turn Left”)
- Stuff One of Us Watches (Charmed)

- Batman (Gotham Knight, The Movie, The Dark Knight)
- Superman: Red Son
- The Ruins
- Plus: The 14 Most Awesome Dogs and a new Mystery Geek Challenge
With the occasional exception (e.g. Superman: Red Son, Justice League: The New Frontier) I’m not generally a Batman-fan or Batfan, if you will. It looks like I’ll be adding Batman: Gotham Knight to that exception list, though.
This six-story anthology takes place between the events of 2005’s Batman Begins and this summer’s The Dark Knight. Each story has its own art style and writer, including Brian Azzarello (who coincidentally wrote many of my favorite Hellblazers) and Josh Olson. As it happens, Olson is also writing the script for Todd McFarlane’s revisionist version of L. Frank Baum’s Oz stories. Judging by McFarlane’s Twisted Land of Oz collection from 2003, this is going to be considerably darker than the original concept or other revisions like Gregory Maguire’s Wicked. Here’s McFarlane’s Dorothy with some cute little Munchkins:
On Gotham Knight, Olson says:
Just because it’s a cartoon, and because of the nature of the story, I wanted to do the one thing you’d never see in a Batman segment: a decapitation. I was so happy they let me keep it. I thought, “I’ve gotta get it in there.” The director did such a beautiful job. Batman never kills anyone. I wanted to have him do something really grotesquely inappropriate, and yet get the point across that Batman never kills. That was fun … very dark fun.
This sounds like my kind of Batman. Look for it on DVD, Blu-ray and online on July 8. Until then, here are some images, courtesy of our friends at Warner Bros.
